Built once,
built properly
Built by its owner in 2005 with eight-inch exterior walls, plywood sheathing rather than OSB, ten-inch reinforced foundations and a double glued subfloor. Brazilian cherry runs through the principal rooms with no threshold strips.
The plan opens from a granite foyer past solid walnut columns into a double-height family room, its gas fireplace set in a full-height slate wall. Beyond sit the kitchen, breakfast nook and sun room, with a 14'4" × 17'11" office and mudroom on the same level.
Nearly eighteen by nineteen feet. Full-height cherry cabinetry, granite on every run, a gas cooktop in the island beneath a stainless canopy hood, a built-in wall oven, and a custom walk-in pantry behind.
Twenty-eight feet of bedroom
The primary measures 27'10" × 20'8" — room for a king, a sitting area in the bay window, and space to move around both. A walk-in of nearly nine by eleven feet leads to the five-piece ensuite: freestanding soaker tub, double granite vanity, glass rain shower. Three further bedrooms share the floor, two joined by a Jack-and-Jill bath with dual sinks.
1,975 finished square feet, a $150,000 fit-out
A 26'10" × 34'4" recreation room wired for home theatre with a dedicated subwoofer, a second 19'10" × 17'1" room, a sixth bedroom, a full bath and two large storage rooms. A four-foot concrete stair runs from the garage straight down — the only one of its kind on the street.
Refurbishment complete. The pool carries a spillover spa, a shallow infinity-edge section for children, twelve deck jets and twelve colour LEDs, on commercial-grade equipment run from a concrete pool house.
Stamped concrete wraps the yard, the barbecue station is plumbed in, and the planting is low maintenance. Six exterior cameras cover the property; the driveway has been re-sealed.
